Mine were 30 year old wood with metal corners, I wouldn't trust it past about 150 lbs, plus there was some front to back play that would lend itself to instability, if you're looking to do what you want, I would recommend all metal bows, shouldn't be too hard to have made, I'll take a picture...

Wise or not, some one obviously put a 6bt in a m1009 from the pics here... http://www.cumminsforum.com/forum/introductions/407548-1984-cucv-m1009-getting-6bt.html

Re: Anyone make alternate uses of this bracket????? I have seen good results from using epoxy to secure a strong (45 lbs) rare earth magnet to the underside of the dash. Get in the truck, put gun under dash, stays put just fine. Yeah I get a couple of scuff marks on the slide, but hey, it's a...

It depends, does your water heater work? :-)

Laughing**** Not even close! My m1028 weighs 6200 lbs sitting empty at the curb. (that's 3 tons for those of you that flunked math like me...)

Well obviously you made it back safe and sound... however, here's some pics of when it goes badly. Couldn't stop in time for a disabled vehicle in the road... trailer swung me around and dumped over... Anybody know a good way .to get 105 brakes working without an air system? ****...can't...

Looks good. Are you going to trim the fender wells now?

Ok, so I am having the exact opposite problem. My drive to work is a long gentle downhill slope and the speed limit is 35 which is right at my shift point between 2nd and 3rd. The engine has more than enough power to plug along in 3rd for the entire trip but i am having a hard time keeping iit...
